September 19, 1992 was simply spent by me and Bhayya in talking to the devotees of Nagpur, Akola, Amravati still present. “Ye meraa shareer bhautik shareer naheen hai! Ye aapki bhaavnaaon ka shareer hai!“My body is not a physical body. It has come into existence through your devotion.”Raju Urhekar, Sharad Taman and Mrs. Taman, Raju Tanksale, Tanksale, Mrs. Tanksale, Talwar, Dilip Sardeshmukh were amongst those present. There was also Sudha from Nagpur who had served Shri Nathji for five years from June 1980 to September 1985. There were also Mrs. Vig, and Dr. Shakuntala Talwar and others.“A sword came to protect your guru from death, but Shri Nathji willingly called Death to Himself!”I recalled Pitaji telling me that it was the disciples of gurus who made up many exaggerated stories about them to raise their stature in the public eye.“Piyaji, ye guru to maamooli log hote hain, inke chele hee unke baare men barrhaa charrhaa ke baaten karte hain!”Many devotees from Maharashtra who were to depart on the 19th of September cancelled their reservations without demur to remain with Bhayya and myself for a day or two longer, to share in our sorrow.
